Thinking about biodiversity policy in the United States, specifically relating to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

I have also chosen to focus on the financial aspect of policy, keeping all other factors equal.
This model aims to analyze how conservation from 2013 to 2017 needs improving in order to meet the needs to repopulate the Florida panther based on Acreage of conservation. Human population and housing development challenge conservation efforts, this model produces scenarios that test policy efforts in repopulate the Florida Panther. Our goal is to conserve 16 million acres for a habitat with 500 panthers.
